In March 4, 2001, the Honda FCX-V3 fuel cell vehicle made history
by serving as the official pace car for the Los Angeles Marathon. The
FCX-V3, the latest in a long line of Honda's environmentally friendly
vehicles, finished the complete 26.2-mile course. The pace car,
complete with L.A. Marathon logos, led the estimated 21,000 Marathon
runners.

"Honda is proud to have its FCX-V3 Fuel Cell Vehicle lead the L.A.
Marathon as an official pace car," stated Tom Elliott, executive vice
president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "It reinforces Honda's
commitment to protecting the environment by building products that
pollute less, use fewer non-renewable resources and provide vehicles
that people want to use and enjoy."
